​I attended the Ayurveda - yoga and meditation retreat which I loved. It was great to meet like-minded people and relax in the beautiful setting of Sanctuary Hill. I found the yoga classes by Bhavani to be lovely and she explained the movements well. The meditations were great too & Ram's meals were very wholesome and nurturing.

My husband and I took our first trip to New Zealand from New York. I have been to many yoga retreats around the States and follow a high Raw Vegan diet. I am usually disappointed in the quality of food on most retreats, so I always carry my own supplies.  I was overwhelmed by the quality of the weekend! The beautiful location - house and yoga studio, the hikes, workshops on food, health and nutrition, the details towards everything. Above all,I was blown away by the quality of the food- Ram is a professional in every way. The quality was comparable to an upscale Vegan restaurant in NYC. Ram and Bhavani were excellent hosts. I would highly recommend Sanctuary Hill to anyone that wants lovely yoga and meditation classes, fun hikes, educational lectures and excellent food to "live" for.
